Internet services were restored this afternoon in this district three days after they were blocked for a second time within a period of two weeks in view of the caste violence.

District Magistrate PK Pandey said Internet companies were told to resume their services last evening.

The services were blocked on June 8 to prevent misuse of social media to foment tension following the arrest of Bhim Army founder Chandrashekhar, the main accused in the recent violence in the district.
